Chapter 146: A Ray of Hope
"It's just a spirit essence. I believe you will surpass me and reach a higher realm!" Tang An turned and left. Tang Feng watched Tang An's departing figure, feeling a surge of inexplicable emotion in his heart.
"Perhaps, this is what paternal love is. Master has treated me like his own son since I was young. I should continue to work hard, surpass Master, and achieve a realm that has not been reached by anyone in nearly a thousand years!" Tang Feng said firmly to himself, his eyes filled with determination.
"Saint Wuxin? It's really you," Zhang Gao shouted loudly.
"Zhang Gao? Be careful when you're down; watch out or I'll kill you!" Saint Wuxin said arrogantly.
"You." Zhang Gao's face turned purple with anger. He recalled how, when he was a lord, he wouldn't have looked twice at a mere Nine Star Fighting Saint. Now, in his fallen state, even a dog from the War Heaven Empire dared to scold him. However, Zhang Gao understood that he was an Eight Star Duel Saint, while Saint Wuxin was a Nine Star Fighting Saint.
"Hmph, I won't waste words with you. We belong to War Heaven; we will retreat to East City Gate," Saint Wuxin shouted loudly.
"Yes, General."
"Shadow Wind's forces will retreat to West City Gate," Zhang Gao shouted.
"Yes, General."
"The leaders of both armies are at odds; there's no need for concern," Tang An said softly before stepping back from the crowd.
In the Wilderness, Transverse Mountain Range. Within a radius of several thousand meters, one hundred thousand human-shaped torches sat cross-legged.
"Young Master, this is already the tenth batch," Li Qi said respectfully to Yang Chen.
"One batch takes three days, ten batches make a month. If we calculate the time, we still need two months. What news have you gathered?" Yang Chen sat cross-legged, absorbing the essence in the air, then operated the Demon God Strategy to transform death energy into life energy.
"The Shadow Wind Dynasty has dispatched General Zhang Gao, leading an army of one million to garrison the City of Slaughter. The Heavenly Emperor Nation has sent Saint Wuxin as their general, also bringing an army of one million to garrison the City of Slaughter. Currently, both sides are in a state of peace," Li Qi reported.
"Peace? It will always be peace. These two will never come to blows. We no longer need to concern ourselves with the City of Slaughter. The Tianfeng Dynasty and Jia Shi Dynasty will not pay attention to it anymore. In a few months, the entire Xuan Continent will be our battlefield!" Yang Chen said firmly, then closed his eyes to continue his cultivation.
Time passed swiftly; three months flew by. The members of the Shadow Kill Legion, Slaughter Legion, Nightmare Legion, Demon Legion, and Assassination Legion all underwent the baptism of the Sacrificial Fire, each person advancing one level, with some even advancing two levels. In the future, their speed of cultivating fighting energy would be much faster than before, as they were now free of impurities.
"Young Master, all members of the legion have completed their body tempering," Li Qi reported respectfully. Yang Chen opened his eyes and glanced at Divine Seven, who was still undergoing body tempering. He stood up and said, "Pass down the order: all soldiers will undergo a six-month hunting trial. Every soldier from Dou Jun and below must independently slay ten beast monsters while overcoming three levels. Those who fail to complete their mission in nine months will be executed!"
"Young Master, isn't this task a bit too daunting?" Li Qi asked.
"In my Shadow Kill Dynasty, we will not recruit any cowardly soldiers! Only in life-and-death situations can we unleash their potential," Yang Chen said with unwavering determination. Li Qi immediately knelt down and respectfully replied:
"I humbly obey Your Majesty's command."
"Rise, my loyal minister. What month is it now?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Replying to Your Majesty, it is currently July," Li Qi answered respectfully.
"Well then, we will discuss it next year. You pass down the order for all soldiers to hunt beasts with full effort; before next year arrives, I want to see nine hundred ninety-nine thousand beast corpses," Yang Chen declared sternly.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Qi said respectfully.
"Go, I trust you know what to do."
"Yes. I take my leave." Li Qi slowly stood up and then retreated. Yang Chen glanced at the seven people undergoing body tempering, then sat down cross-legged again and began to cultivate slowly.
So far, Yang Chen had not used the Sacrificial Fire to temper his body because he knew that the effect of the Sacrificial Fire was already minimal. However, Jin Zi and Howling Sky were currently enduring the pain of body tempering, but they were both in pain and joy. After three months of cultivation, with the efforts of Howling Sky, Jin Zi, and Yang Chen, the three of them advanced to Eight-Star Battle King (Fifth Stage Eight-Star). At the same time, Yang Chen used Death Qi to temper his body into a Demon God Body, but the core of his torso could never be tempered, which always frustrated Yang Chen.
Half a day later, the entire Shadow Kill Legion learned that Yang Chen was preparing to establish a nation, approximately a year from now. Therefore, everyone was striving for military achievements in order to gain promotions and secure their families. However, Yang Chen had already canceled the policy of exchanging Armor-Piercing Arrows for military merits, so everyone was now trying various other methods to earn military achievements.
A day later, under the leadership of various Captains, the five major legions marched towards Wilderness Depths to hunt nine million Demon Beasts for Yang Chen. Half a day later, Li Qi returned alone and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, our soldiers are currently in a standoff with the Beast Ruler ten thousand meters away. Please make a decision." "Ding! The presence of Yandang Blade is felt within ten thousand meters."
"Oh? Beast Ruler? Ninth-Order Monster? Master's Wife?" Yang Chen shouted into the void.
"What? Do you want me to help you fight?" Lin Mu Yu's figure appeared before Yang Chen as she softly said, "However, after I fight for you once, I won't need to protect you anymore."
"Hehe, Master's Wife is overthinking it. What I wanted to say is not this; I would like to trouble Master's Wife to take us over there," Yang Chen said while pointing at Long Xin and the others with a smile. "Li Qi, lead the way."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Qi replied respectfully.
"No need; I can sense where they are," Lin Mu Yu said as she looked at Yang Chen with a complex expression before leading everyone away in flight. In just two breaths' time, Yang Chen appeared before everyone.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The crowd quickly knelt on one knee and respectfully said, of course excluding all Fighting Saint Experts.
"Everyone, please be seated," Yang Chen said with authority.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Chen looked at the twelve confronting Demon Beast strongmen across from him and asked, "I am the Emperor of the Shadow Kill Empire. Who are you?"
"Shadowkill Dynasty? I've never heard of it. Can a mere Duel King strongman become an emperor?" the Demon Beast general replied.
"Ding! This person possesses the aura of the Yandang Blade." Yang Chen was slightly taken aback and softly said, "I am Yang Chen. May I ask your name?"
"I am Yao Tianshang! Withdraw from the Wilderness region of the Transverse Mountain Range now, and I will not hold you accountable for the crime of hunting my people," Yao Tianshang said, glancing at Lin Mu Yu.
"My people? It seems I have hunted in the wrong territory of the Demon Beasts," Yang Chen said. "Li Qi."
"At your service," Li Qi stepped forward and responded.
"Bring out the map of the Transverse Mountain Range," Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Qi respectfully handed the map of the Transverse Mountain Range to Yang Chen.
At this moment, everyone was puzzled by Yang Chen's actions. Was he compromising? Trying to change to another area to hunt Demon Beasts? Everyone thought so, including the Demon Beasts across from him, which filled their gazes toward Yang Chen with disdain and contempt. Sure enough, "What are the boundaries of your territory?" Yang Chen inquired.
